Millwall v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[eastie]

This is too soon for me, I'm still furious over last night. The playing staff, management and board should be fucking ashamed of themselves.

Same as .

[Colhint]

Doubt he will do it, but if he's going to stay then Lambert has got to wipe the slate clean and this game is the perfect opportunity to do so.  I really didn't think I would be saying it this season, but bring Hutton and Warnock back in and play Dunne if he is anywhere near being fit enough.  Whichever way you look at it the midfield is a mess, so I would just go back to a basic 4-4-2 with the following team:

                              Given

Hutton -----   Vlaar ------ Dunne ----- Warnock

Holman ----- Westwood ---- Delph ---- Bennett

                    Weimann ---- Bent

Not a chance, It'll be 4 defenders 2 midfield and 4 up front. He'll wonder why we are getting over run in Midfield and losing 1-0 so he will take off a midfielder and put another striker on. We will have no midfield so lump the ball up, then wonder why their 4 midfielders keep picking up the lose ball and calmly play their way out of trouble

[lovejoy]

Proper f**ked.

[Lambert and Payne]

I will be glad when this game comes along. It will either be something else to moan about or may take a very, very small part of anger away from after the Bradford result.

I'm far too apethetic for this. Friday will be like a funeral in the away end

[Dr Butler]

loss...2-0

if I was the Millwall coach/manager I would be practising the fuck out of dead-ball situations.

[Holte L2]

03:45 on a Saturday morning? Right now there's no way in hell I'd get up for that after the second half last night. I know when Friday comes however, all will change.

Through thick and the very thin. Although, I agree it would be nice to mix the team up a bit - some of those performances last night don't deserve a start. Give Carruthers a go, always on the bench and no harm in giving him an opportunity. Be great to see at least 1 new body in as well.... Even if its just to give us all some hope.

Time to make up for it Villa, win against Millwall and Newcastle and we can move on from last night. To all those making the trip; enjoy your Friday night in London, make plenty of noise, keep warm and give 'em hell.

Will do

Beat again, and Mr Lambert will say in the post-match conference that we played " really fine"

[The Situation]

Yay! another game at another ridiculous and nonsensical time!

could not give a shit about this game even if I tried. any wish of wanting to succeed in a cup seems diminished. only league games matter now.

I'm struggling to get myself up for those too. My dad won't be going to Newcastle so I have a slight chance of getting there. If I'm honest I just think I'll stay at home

@MatKendrick: Think captain @RonVlaar4 is scheduled to do tomorrow's pre match press conference duties rather than the manager #avfc

Wow. What reason could there be for this? Bizarre.

Cowardice?

Hopefully Lambert's got a job interview that clashes. Manager of a circus, perhaps.

[Greg N'Ash]

ooooooh. Interesting... is lamb for the chop?

2-0 loss. Lets concentrate on the league now
